Summary

Function: llSetText( String text, Vector color, Float alpha );

This function is used to set text to display over an object in SL.

• String text
• Vector color
• Float alpha

Specification

Displays text placed over object -- programmer specifies text, color and visibility/transparency.

Caveats

Expression error: Unexpected > operator.None known.

Examples

llSetText("I am on", <1,1,1>,1.0);

<1,1,1> represents the values for red, green, and blue. <1,1,1>, means "white" and <0,0,0> means "black".

llSetText("I am off", <0,0,0>,1.0);

The 1.0 is the alpha setting. 1.0 means fully opaque, and 0.0 would be completely transparent (invisible).

Notes

Most commonly, this is included in the default code for an object, such as:

default {

    state_entry()
    {
    llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
    llSetText("Prize Box", <0,1,0>, 1.0);
    }
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
    llSay(0, "Touched.");
    }

}
